Allen Iverson Hairstyles

You might have heard about Allen Iverson, even if you aren't a basketball fan, because of the Allen Iverson hairstyles.

His full name is Allen Ezail Iverson and he is said to be one of the most talented basketball players in the world. He started playing basketball in high school in Georgetown but most people found out about him when he got selected in the NBA. At this point he already is told to be an 11-year veteran at the age of 32, being part of the Denver Nuggets team. I believe so much information is enough about his career, since the topic of my article is the hairstyle trend he has created during the past 11 years.



Since he started his carrer his hairstyle has been constantly changing. One of the first hairstyles he had was when he completely shaved his had, which gave him a look of maturity, but after a while he had realised that this hairstyle is too constant, so he let his hair grow back.This new hairstyle is called by many 'mini-afro'.In the case of this hairstyle the hair is cut short and the top of the head has the most hair, the hair on the sides being kept short. Later he has chosen another style, the basic afro, for which longer hair is needed. As we all know, fashion changes, and this is true in the case of hair as well. Once the afro got a little old, Allen Iverson decided to change his hairstyle again. This time he has chosen a tight line row hairstyle, which was very fashionable in the late 90's. This was the first time that he tried the cornrow hairstyle. This hairstyle means that the hair is braided in a straight front to back way, as close to the head as possible. He is told to be the first player in the league wearing this hairstyle, and he likes it so much, that he still as this style, although over the years the patterns have become more sophisticated, creating a style specific to him.

He says that he really enjoys this hairstyle because he stands out in a crowd. This habit of his made him even more famous than he was for his talent. This made him be known not just by sprts fans, but also by those who care about fashion and trend.



It is a well-known fact that his hairstylist, Dionne Matthews, goes to his place twice a week to get his hair done, and it is said, that for the almost eight hour work she gets a paycheck of $1,200. During the time she has benn working with him she got to know him better then most of the people and she says that he is a good father, a good son and a good fiance, so we can say that he is the total package.

There aren't too many men, who can say that they created a new hairstyle, but the Allen Iverson hairstyles are truly unique.
